WIP - Anova Rynn - 2500 miles.....and colorful

[Zetesofos]

So, after posting my original hand drawn map; I checked out the quickstart guide, and started working on re-engineering my continent map. Thanks to Ascension for his tutorial (Atlas style) I took that to re doing my first map. It's been a while since I've used photoshop, so I'm having to relearn some of the things along the way, but I think I'm learning some new ones. It took me about 10 minutes though to remember how to make a custom brush.....(artists lapse > )

In any case, here is map in the works after a day; because I already had placements for the mountain ranges, I had to adapt the mountain creation to fit within those smaller areas, which forced me to figure out to make a 'clouds' brush to fill in the much smaller coastal ranges. Here's what I got so far; Hopefully when I get to them I won't have to redraw TOO many of my rivers, most won't be important.


Also, a question I can think of, anyone know good way to make canyons and gorges?
